Metro Washington Council afl-cio

On Thursday, the AFL-CIO, Demos, and UC Berkeley’s Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society will host an event on "Dog Whistle Politics and Right Wing Populism in the 2016 Election." "Candidates who inject disparaging racial, ethnic or gender-based messages into our politics do it to divide working people and divert them from recognizing their common economic interests and keep them from focusing on the real problem - the wealthy and powerful who are undermining democracy and rewriting the rules of our economy," says the AFL-CIO. The event starts at 9a at the AFL-CIO; click here for details and to register.
